Using the Schema Explorer

The Vault Toolbox plugin includes a Schema Explorer for browsing the authenticated Vault's schema, including objects, picklists, and MDL component types. The schema tree rebuilds automatically when the snapshot changes, such as on connect or refresh.

Browsing Vault Schema

To browse the Vault schema:

Within IntelliJ IDEA, open the Vault Toolbox plugin from the righthand sidebar.
Select the Schema Explorer() tab.
Expand Objects, Picklists, or Component Types to browse the schema. Expand an object node to reveals its fields and relationships.
Use the search bar to narrow the schema list by name.
Optional: Click to refresh the schema from the authenticated Vault.

Schema Explorer Actions

Right-click a node in the Schema Explorer to access the following context menu actions, which can vary depending on whether the selected node is an object, picklist, or component type.
